Lately, I’ve been applying to adopt a sausage dog because the loss of my last one has really been a bit too much for me. After all the applying, I’ve got a little meet-and-greet to see a dog tomorrow. I was going to meet her before my partner gets back from his home country but I told the person I was adopting her from that he’s away until Saturday and asked if it would be possible for me to come after he arrives.

So, I’ve arranged to meet the dog right after my partner lands in Australia.

This is really exciting for me, but at the same time, I feel a little guilty because I’m not fully over my previous dog’s passing. At the same time, I am happy to have the chance to save a dog who needs a new loving home.

She’s a small girl and has already had puppies which makes me really sad. These puppies came late last year, and I noticed from her pictures that she had puppies before (it’s really hard to miss). That makes me feel so sad for her because she’s barely one year old. I’m really hoping that she had a good pregnancy and didn’t just exist to have puppies. Well, she’ll have a nice, loving home here. No need to have puppies. We’ll just go for walks on the beach, to the park and stuff that dogs like to do. If I can be part of a dog feeling loved and taken care of, then I am happy. Hopefully she’ll be happy too.

The adoption fee for her is a little more than I was expecting to pay but I don’t think I can walk away from her. I’d rather give up my luxuries to adopt her than to leave her behind. To make up for the increased fee, I’ve been selling some of my previously loved devices. An iPad Air, Mac mini, AirPods Pro 2, and a few other things are on the market now.

Sacrificing these devices is worth giving a dachshund a loving home.

I’m sure I’ll update later this weekend. I’m a bit anxious because I don’t know how this will go. I will need my partner to cover some of this adoption fee because my pay doesn’t get to me until this coming Wednesday.

Fingers crossed, folks!
